Show HILL TOP TIMES Bonds Build for the Future MODERN Almost a quarter of a century ago a Secretary of the Treasury coined the slogan, "They gave their lives You give your money." The slogan helped kick off a drive which sold more than $18 billion worth of U.S. Savings Bonds to baok up our fighting men. JThat was during World War II, when all stops were .pulled out in an effort to support American men on the MARRIAGE Jl,l , f 1 rt VJ ,.

He promises to "love her, comfort her, honor and keep her in sickness and in health, forsaking all others." She is asked to repeat the same vow except for the addition of the "obey" clause. What is the meaning of "obey"? To obey is simply to recognize that the husband is the head of the family. It does not mean that the husband is justified in saying to himself, "What orders shall I issue to spouse and offspring today?" activiIn ordinary are and wife husband equal ties, partners. But there are times when decisions have to be made which are important to all members of the household. On many of these decisions regarding permanent changes of stations, overseas assignments, military duties there is little latitude day-to-d- ay battle lines. The situation today has its similarities. True, the nation is not involved in global war; but we are not at peace. More than 300,000 American service men are deployed across Southeast Asia as part of a systematic effort in the postwar period to assure a stable peace. Thousands of other Americans in uniform stand guard over the shaky peace in other parts of the world. An investment in U.S. Savings Bonds is an investment in these men and women and the job they are doing. At the same time, an investment in savings bonds is an investment in our own future. With the 4.15 percent interest rate, U.S. Savings Bonds provide a sound form for the growth of our savings dollar. The maturity period of Series E Bonds sold since Dec. 1, 1965, has been reduced from seven years and nine months to seven years. A regular monthly savings plan of $18.75 (for a $25 bond) will accumulate $1,797 in seven years. The bonds purchased will have a maturity value of $2,100. President Johnson has called investment in U.S. Savings Bonds "both prudent and patriotic." Think it over. Start a monthly bond allotment during the current bond campaign at Hill AFB and let it build for the future. ft - Comment Yz7FblPIl7IW Editorials aOf I, KfW May What a noisy world we live in!

We know that both skilled and unskfflled American laborers expose themselves to a lifetime of employment in factories generating hundreds of decibels of sound. How man can tolerate these noises is beyond our imagination. Following a day's work the laborer drives home through noisy traffic, sits before the shouting TV programs, and endures the static of his neighbor's powerful stereo. One would assume that we would seek a quite place for our relaxation and recreation. But this is not always the case for recreation is found at ballparks, racetracks and noisy amusement parks. There must be some phobia which prevents us from searching out quieter surroundings. Yet, there are advantages to be gained from the quiet place and the moment of silence.' The Hebrew Prophet Elijah would have us learn as he did the value of moments of quietness. Elijah rediscovered life and its fulfillment through direct and conscious confrontation with the quieter moment apart from deafening industries. He rediscovered his responsibility to his society and faith because he was exposed to the whispering silence following the tornadolike wind, the destructive earthquake, and the awesome fire.
